Willie Monroe "Golovkin is great! If Mayweather beats him they just going to find someone else"

[@BillBui_]

Monroe made a fan out of me despite the loss. The guy is very eloquent and most importantly, humble. Certainly not a common characteristic with most boxers. Nothing but respect for the guy.

[@samebar]

Willie Monroe; "I got a heart of a champion. My grandfather raised me to never give up" Referee:"Do you want to continue!?" Willy :"I'm done" What's granddaddy sayin' Willy?

[@Scarface193448]

Vasantha Perera he did the right thing by quitting if he knew he had no chance

[@Gadgetdee1]

Willie Monroe lost to GGG but comes across as a true champ, I like this guy !

[@INeedMoney-vq6ee]

smart and very well spoken

[@jon8342]

$I.Need.Money$ Shut up idiot

[@INeedMoney-vq6ee]

wow didnt think calling some1 smart and well spoken would bring hate....Idk but to me he sounds like an educated person. kinda like algieri, guys u cant help but like.

[@pound4pound740]

Nopes. He acted like triple G didnt surprise him at all when he got murdered in the ring. He wasnt honest about loosing

[@husabceuoacieabcueoa2319]

$I.Need.Money$ So why was you even surprised he was "well spoken"?

[@INeedMoney-vq6ee]

Husabceuoa Cieabcueoa because hes a fighter??? fighters spend their lives in a boxing gym, not in a classroom. So when i hear people like Monroe, Algieri and paulie talking its refreshing. On a side note, i just noticed the people that i mentioned are feather fisted lol. I guess smart people dont hit hard. only knuckle heads have punching power.

[@mexrider1]

Well said. Really impressed with this man.

[@preteristlab-endtimes5683]

A lot of class in this young man, talented, brave, polite, and respectful.

[@GrandChamp211]

Much respect to to him.

[@paulwilliams2024]

Class act

[@melanatedking3497]

Much respect to Willie, without a shadow of a doubt u will be back kid...

[@asarrabey7647]

Wowww! I'm very impressed with this young man's spirit. He's very articulate and conducts his self like a true champion, and made no excuses. Pacquiao should take notes! This is what thorough men say when they lose. Great post!

[@atlien991]

Asar Ra Bey He has the demeanor of a Paulie Malignaggi. I love it. If Floyd had the social ability of Willie Monroe he'd be twice as rich as he is now if you can believe that is even possible.

[@missionpupa]

atlien991 No he wont. Hes rich because of hes doing exactly what he needs to do. You dont know how marketing works.

[@cody8804]

Classy guy. Always nice to hear a fighter admit they lost and not rattle off a list of excuses

[@flygeriantv3288]

Love Willie Monroe Jr man, wish this guy nothing but the best! Minor setback for a major comeback!

[@missionpupa]

This is how you lose gracefully. Zero excuses, and that's respectable.

[@richardkent2014]

youhave a new fan humility is what is missing from this game great man your grandad would be proud

[@DiggsSuperproducer]

one of the realest interviews in a minute

[@barrycollins3042]

Well-spoken: "Give that man his credit!"

[@blahblahblah6021]

Well said no need for floyd to fight a middleweight he's already proved he's the best. Plus his haters would just find another excuse and another guy who "would beat floyd lol"

[@ObieG93]

Adrien Broner The boxing world can live without Mayweather. Very skillful best of this era, but he's boring so no one gives a shit about Floyd. .

[@Kingwboxing]

Lol I knew the Pacquiso fans would jump on the GGG train. If Floyd beat GGG they would say fight Andre Ward or Kovalev.

[@Marvindorfler1]

***** there's intrigue with his fights, but they do end up lacking an good action, not lacking amazing skill tho, but it's a pity mayweather doesn't combine really offensive attacks mixed in with his defensive skill

[@jvinson]

ObieG93 - There were 4.4 million people that cared enough to see him lose. Too bad they were disappointed.

[@blahblahblah6021]

ObieG93​ wrong every video related to boxing even if it has nothing to do with floyd will 90 percent of the time have someone mentioning floyd mayweather in the comment section lol go give it a look

[@samuelh.m4905]

Cotto sinking in some deep thoughts right now...

[@jakc3d]

Samuel Hernandez Moreno There's lots of pressure on Cotto and Canelo at this moment.

[@rjdodgerz2776]

Ima huge Canelo fight but I really hope ggg and Canelo fight each and may the best fighter win. GGG is a very like able foghter

[@AugustoMilan]

My respects for this man, he is a really man, no complains, no excuses....

[@floid81]

respect! thats how interwievs are given! nice attitude

[@ETsonggalaxy]

Willie Monroe, is a humble Blackman, NOT a bragger like Floyd Jr. Willie answers questions with an honest heart! He has a lot of courage! Monroe gave points on GGG s reputation well! Good job ,and with all respect to U Monroe!

[@retrorad6409]

"I have a big heart u gon have to kill me" bro didn't u quit? I don't understand

[@garethbarry3825]

Immense respect for Monroe for this interview.

[@Kingjay19]

This guy is so respectful lol

[@willieleehm]

he keeps saying he has the heart of a champion and they would have to draghim out the ring but he literally told the ref he didnt want to continue

[@bob8619]

Willie HavMire Thats what I'm saying.

[@kojtxivhaam8629]

You go fight 3g for 6 rounds then come tell us how you feel. Let's see if your noodles can match up

[@TheRhinopowerusa]

Willie HavMire Typical bullshit posturing. He quit like a dog.

[@willieleehm]

KojTxiv Haam I'm 6'2 225lbs I'm not afraid of a small 160lb man

[@alanmendezca]

He had the opportunity to show he had to be "killed" and show he had a "heart of a champion" and he quit. It's frustrating to hear him say he has the heart of a champion. Smh....

[@jordandillon9130]

Now Willie is a true role model !

[@fishnet-lv4tz]

This is a man that i have tremendous respect for. His view on his performance on point, his assessment of his opponent spot on, the respect level he show when speaking on other fighters admirable. Journalist and reporters constantly ask fighters question that seem ridiculous enough to a novice. I would like to see a fight such as Willie Monroe interview and write about boxing, because he would speak from a real point of view, like Paul Malanaggi.

[@edch7516]

Willie monroe, absolute class and the heart of a champion, he'll be back and stronger

[@CreateAccount649]

Willie "I'm done" Monroe

[@HotDogInYourBUN]

Mayweather vs pac, canelo, cotto, maidana, ggg, khan. At the same time. And if he wins. People will still booooo. Say that he was boring and probably say hey he could of loss if they added ward in the mix. Smh. Mayweather success has turn decent minds into ignorant dummies!!!

[@cmoneyno5]

Heightz Rubirosa He's defeated Pacquiao, Maidana (2x), Canelo, Guererro, Cotto, Ortiz, Mosley, Marquez, Hatton, Oscar in succession and it's still not enough...

[@HotDogInYourBUN]

cmoneyno5 if he ever gets knocked out that's when people will say he's great. Cause then is easier for people to identify with losing than perfection. It happened with ali. That's how America is. And I say America because it's a shame how we treat one of our own. A guy that risen up from an American poverty, mother was a drug addict father professional boxer but sold drugs to put food on his tummy. From that to representing the u.s in the Olympics to being the highest paid athlete in the world. And he gets boooooooed? Speechless I wonder if mayweather vs pac in a Olympic bout. Would he still get booed by his own country.

[@arlenegarza3601]

+Heightz Rubirosa Hell yeah I would boo someone that don't bring it. He's a great defender and quick on his feet but I want to see a fight, you know where they punch you and you punch them back type of thing. This guy calls himself TBE but he couldn't finish off any opponents for years now. He leaves it to the judges instead.

[@HotDogInYourBUN]

arlene garza I understand ur frustration, yet y aren't u blaming his opponents for not knocking him. Y his opponent never out points him, out out lands him. If your going to see it one way. Yes u gonna be frustrated by him. But looking at the whole pic. He wins but he gets booed and the other fighter gets a pass. Nah that's now how it works. Those fighters are charging people too. Where is the accountability of his opponents? Boo him for what? Winning? If your child was mayweather u would boo him? I doubt that. Let's be objective. You would congratulate him and be happy for him. You will also be happy for him cause he insure himself in not taking punishment etc. Look at the whole pic, look at the age aswell? Look at the champions he has beaten. Like cause he ain't tyson I'm gonna boo him? Smh. Is he exciting? No. Yet this is not called "exciting boxing" this is called simply "boxing" he's a master of boxing. Facts, period.

+Heightz Rubirosa his country is africa not america to put a chump like floyd next to America is offending as fuck and fuk u for saying that guys a coward. and the people he fought. were bums.

[@billyjoje1316]

Willie Monroe is a great boxer with big heart . Most important is to be a good boxer in side and outside the boxing ring.

[@Narutoonepiecefan3]

Even though Willie Monroe lost, he showed more characteristics of a true champion than Mr 48 on May 2nd. I will continue to watch and support this man, I believe he will come back and become a champion one day. Keep it real Willie.

[@OTKP]

Knew nothing about him coming into this fight but he made me a fan. He was just overpowered and didn't have the pop to back GGG off. Fun fight to watch while it lasted though.

[@hhh1200]

OTKP porter vs paulie 2 but it happens in boxing. people say keep the jab going. has a great physique but no power and his legs were gone by the 6th.

[@ANTPHRESSH89]

Much respect to Willie Monroe i am a huge fan now. For him to get up and keep fighting is impressive most dont. GGG is the best middleweight in the world! Period! Unify and go up to 168 lbs!

[@nicolascastellano5325]

I love Willie. I've met him at our gym in Atlnta. Great guy, but he said in this interview "you gotta kill me to get me out of there"..... No you don't. You quit in the 6th. "I'm done. I'm done". GGG kept him honest in this fight. I love Willie I wish him the best

[@40thstreetblack73]

First time I've come across Monroe, he lost and took it in good grace. Spoke very well too, nice and honest. You don't hear that too much when I fighter loses. Classy.

[@meekmo9033]

Cool Dude.. Took Defeat like a man.. Well spoken..

[@Metaversr777]

Simply a class act!

[@smoothcriminal4038]

If floyd was walking and tripped over a rock then they'll be saying Hey do you remember when that rock dropped floyd.. Yeah yeah now floyd is ducking that rock... 😆 😆

[@Darzo82]

I Like this kid good attitude says it how it is respect

[@mozilla1986]

Was quite surprised with Monroe's strategy after rd 2 where he began to stay in the pocket. It actually worked a little as it gave him more countering opportunities especially with his fast hands but it was risky and he paid the price.

[@1Conquest1]

Golovkin is seriously underrated. He stalks his opponents, cutting the ring perfectly. His shots are pin point accurate and perfectly weighted. We need to see him tested against someone good but everybody is ducking him

[@thelasthourgetready]

Ward beats him easy real easy.

[@hhh1200]

1Conquest1 ward will hit and grab like brook did to porter.

[@MrCandlewax]

1Conquest1 GGG is ducking Ward. Even his dickriding fans know this, that's why they booed when Max Kellerman asked ggg about fighting him.

[@thelasthourgetready]

hhh1200 lool its called clinching and it is a legitimate move in boxing done for various reasons not because the fighter is scared. Besides Porter didnt know what he was doing and brook did alot of good work

[@yhideit4427]

Respect to Willie !

[@naturalview1245]

I love this guy, People should leave floyd alone. He made boxing what it is today. People let the young man(Floyd) alone. What is wrong with this world?

[@ChuObii]

My goodness Willie Monroe Jr is a brilliant mind.... I really love what i've heard from this guy. Gets beat and gives GGG his respect. And for what he said in the end about Floyd, simply Golden and very TRUE!

[@leonross9798]

Salute. Respect.

[@baabadibakidi7998]

Well said willie you are true boxer, always accept defeat en give credit to the winner

[@enesog]

I absolutely agree with him what he said about Floyd.

[@jamesboxwriter6112]

2:29 "For the people who still question Gennady's power what do you have to say to that?" Who the hell questions his power lol

[@wazzzappening4848]

Willie,great reasoning to why Floyd need not fight Golovkin.Well said! I say even at a catch weight or at 154.What for,to prove what?

[@DustyHighway]

Great comment on mayweather willie Monroe.

[@TLynch-gf4ul]

New fan! Willie well spoken bro...I agree on your comments about Floyd...

[@Wis_Dom]

Media got quiet real quick and felt stupid once they realized they couldn't create some anti-Floyd drama. THANK YOU, WILLIE!

[@cervantchristian3851]

Wonder if Floyd is aware that if he fought undefeated and never lost until he was age 70 they would say he was finally exposed lol. He should retire it does not matter if he wins he will not get credit but if he loses, his opponent will get credit as if Floyd is 27 years old.

[@bigjdm5460]

Hahaha!! Agree, if Mayweather lost the pac fight and complained about his shoulder he would be put on death row. It's crazy

[@enesog]

I wanna see ggg vs Andre Ward, Cotto or something like this next.

[@whitedove9565]

Willie Monroe Real talk on Floyd, leave Floyd alone now mans done enough

[@realityme]

Willie Monroe Jr is the truth!!!!

[@bradly373]

Such a cool guy

[@ytgbass172]

well said monroe jr

[@mosab643]

3:14 that's right! and nothing has happened to disprove that claim

[@seiko20d42]

Respect

[@regzzuse280]

Is there any chance that May-GGG can happen? And in what weight class would they face each other?

[@DougDimmaDab]

In can happen but it's very unlikely and not really "fair". Gennady has said he can move down to 154 so it would be for the super welterweight belt Floyd won from canelo.

[@ether6136]

+Regz Zuse Floyd is retiring, everybody talking about how hes gonna come back for 50-0 are just saying that because THEY have ocd. And they cannot comprehend why someone would leave on an odd number, its really ridiculous, if you watched his last fight, all his actions say it all, hes done. Hes too smart to come back. Boxing fans are used to boxers NOT knowing when to leave and lose 3 fights in a row before they give it up

[@regzzuse280]

Ether He already retired once, and came back. I kinda feel if he starts to become "forgotten" that he might come back against some easy opponents. In the end, he cares about his name...

[@ether6136]

***** Lmao ok, call me when mayweather returns because in boxing fans minds they think mayweather is some boxing sentinel whos just gonna perpetually combust only to rise from the ashes again.

[@gdtv3203]

[@soniahema8979]

+Sasha Sarronen lol so true

[@Bedrinonen]

Willie Monroe Jr - "You're gonna have to kill me and drag me out of that ring. That''s just me, I fight to the death." Willie Monroe Jr, 6th round v. GGG - "I'm done." Respect to Monroe for stepping up, but why bullshit when the truth was captured for everyone to see? What haters we are for making legitimate criticisms.

[@natilieblair7903]

+O'Brien he was payed off

[@samebar]

Willie Monroe:"I got the heart of a champion, you're gonna have to kill me to get me outta that ring, I'll fight to the death, y'know!" Referee:"Do you want to continue!?" Willy :"I'm done" How does quitting on your feet equate with being killed and fighting to death? ..........Oh Willy.....!

not gonna lie willie made me a fan

[@peepsqueak7789]

amen willie amen

[@obrownojay106]

Willie, a big respect to u bro. Accepted the better man won. Manny is still shamefully saying that he thinks he won against floyd !!???

[@andryjns]

Not sure with whatever he said.. but the fact is he quit on his foot.

[@forcefrontier6684]

He is right. People always find reasons for TBE

[@richardkent2014]

this has made me smile so much and I was having a shit day to

[@atlfinest279]

Real dude

[@Aeronlisud]

cotto is hard hitter and have great combination punches, cotto / ggg is a great fight.

[@dadscornejo8149]

Even if this guy lost to triple GGG, he got my respect. He showed the heart of a fighter, I thought he did good and he even exposed triple GGG with his own good combination of punches. I like what he said, "to be the best fight the best." Mayweather, Cotto, and Amir Khan should listen to his thought.

[@sounddepth]

real spit...

[@PIMPhardLIFESeasy]

Canelo will give GGG HELLA problems. I think Canelo can stop him at a catch weight. GGG inside game is suspect.

[@mozilla1986]

K Holbert Gotta disagree. GGG IMO had a tactical flaw he was really gun ho for the KO after rd 2 and did not allow the distance he needed to let his hands go. Monroe did great in taking adv but I think GGG just didn't take that step back when necessary he wanted a phone booth fight. Defo Moroe staying in the pocket gave GGG problems and with Canelo's fast hands he could land some telling blows, but there's a huge risk fighting inside against GGG as you're in the eye of the storm it's a real gutsy move and you have to have the reflexes of cat and the chin of iron to take that risk because you will get hit. Canelo would give him trouble in the inside but he would eventually fall. Monroe prob revealed a few flaws that prob had Canelo and Ward thinking.

[@hhh1200]

***** canelo likes to take breaks. unless it's at 155, he is getting stopped.

[@mozilla1986]

jaimedavila1 If you read my comment again I did mention 'he wanted a phone booth fight', GGG wanted to entertain the crowd and challenge himself.

[@brienlp]

jaimedavila1 agreed.

[@PIMPhardLIFESeasy]

mozilla1986 the reason GGG did not take a step back is because even though his inside fight game is suspect he has absolutely no fight game going backwards he only fights one way. I think Canelo has the power and the inside fight game to push him back. As for Canelo gassing! May be I wasn't watching the same fight as everyone else but GGG was tired as hell and he was gassed too against Monroe. When he has to work and he is not just hunting he gets tired. The key to beating this man is smothering his shots and giving as hard as you take on the INSIDE. You can not give him range to hunt. He is also a placement killer he has to touch you In certain areas to hurt you. If his range is smothered those shots are not there. He is less likely to hurt you severely. His past opposition has been afraid of him and would not get close to him. They respected his power before they felt the power. When you fight like that you are already beat mentally.

[@joseiniguez9494]

GGG was toying with him letting him get some shots b4 he made him quit

[@ricks2095]

After this fight I'm curious to see Ward vs GGG if Willie had more power this fight would've been totally different. GGG was eating his shots like cookies much respect to Willie.

[@raymichael1175]

He kept letting ggg get off the uppercut soon as the rounds started. Also he didn't use his Jab stiff enough. GGG don't like body shots and Monroe stop throwing them in the last two rounds. He should have kept going body to the head all night and using a aggressive strong jab. Instead of getting hit with the uppercut GGG was there for the same punch up close and semi up close.

[@thelasthourgetready]

Yr right about that Jab. I watched that GGG fight with that African Guy twice and Golovin dont like That aggressive stiff Jab he also was getting backed up with that strong 1 2. When some fighters get in rhythm and start to make progress they back up and dont capitalise on it. I guess they are Afraid of the power. A smart strong fighter that can also crack will beat him good but he is not that good. Canelo beats him and ward beats him easy

[@reymundo37]

Ray Michael did you said Monroe" should have kept going body to the head all night on golovkin"?do you hate Monroe that much?did you want him to go in a coma?

[@reymundo37]

TheEndIsHere FinalWarning what kind of end is here? the end of your meds? just kidding

[@raymichael1175]

You have to know boxing it's levels can't give you a complete break down on youtube. Keep your head up maybe you will see when he fights someone on the right level.

[@thelasthourgetready]

[@curtisneilson5829]

he tried like hell

[@tonygambino5905]

This guy is classy in defeat. Good to see.

[@superplum6947]

lol he fights to the death he quit lol

[@bmckmufc7]

well said respect to monroe everything he said was spot on. he took nothing away from his loss and showed respect but what he said about mayweather he is right fs give floyd his credit stop putting names out there for him to fight . even if he beat golovkin it would be warde next or probly a heavetweight lol

[@buztalavista1481]

Monroe talks nonsense when he says he was better "fighting in close quarters.." because that's how he got TKOed - he got hit first with uppercut and then the rest followed ..but either way he got heart and fought till he could stand .

[@mannyortega1509]

id like to see him fight lara

[@yeahdude7]

I have a great heart, I have a big heart, says a guy who QUIT the fight because he didn't want to go on anymore. Nonsense talk.

[@ryder4786]

weird, how can you have heart when you quit? ref asked him if he was alright and he basically said "I'm done"...don't want to hate but calling a spade a spade....seems like a good dude though

[@tjlovato1120]

Heart of a champion and get back up when you're knocked down? Is that why you got up and then QUIT after the third knockdown?

[@ssrider7]

He looks like denis rodman!

[@southsea8106]

Floyd is 39yrs old...he need to retire..let these younger fighters make a name for themselves....

[@finansGCS]

Martin Murry gave GGG a better fight.

[@PrinceZebulun1]

Monroe Jr. is built like "Tarzan," but punches like "Jane." He seemed scared to throw HARD punches. When a man throws hard punches at you, throw HARD punches BACK. You have to be willing to HURT a man in THIS sport. You don't throw "Pitty-Pat" shit in hopes that your opponent won't hit you hard. He claims to be a warrior, but he told the "REF" that he had enough. He should either get BETTER training or QUIT.

[@BeeKay1999]

I really respect Willie for going after ggg, but please think before saying"you gonna have to kill me......"..... Remember you did stop the fight by saying "I'm done"...... At least say "he almost killed me in there and there was no point of me continuing"...... But I do like Willie and want to see him fight again.

[@MrCandlewax]

I think Monroe should have fought Cotto.

[@damird8388]

he said I never give up, heart of a champ and shit. But he said " I AM DONE" to ref! Wtf is he talking about. Dont understand modern boxing. Saying one thing, doing another

[@ajwillz5513]

inside fighting takes skill not strength

[@pupusatime99]

Is 160 lbs alot for mayweather to move up to?

[@guywhosellsvapes4595]

5 years later. Yes. He's moved to 154 I think vs Cotto and Oscar. He was still 2 pounds lighter. I don't think he'll be able to have the weight to stay with him. He's fought the biggers guys but still.

[@adnanhalim99]

does anyone know when willie is fighting again hes like a ghost theres nothing on the web idc if he a quitter im a big fan of his and i just wanna see him fight again

[@TheMaddBlackMann]

Monroe vrs Algeri

[@dennisfallon1888]

the fighters know mayweather is the truth

Look at that black girl in the back salty as fuck like she was in the fight . Lmao

[@newskoolsucks]

there is no way mayweather would fight ggg. There's no reason for him to do so. If by some miracle they do fight ggg would win hands down. Mayweathers power wont be able to keep ggg at a distance
